input muted?

[josef909]

i can hear everyone on the channel, im registered, have voice rights, can hear myself in my headphones, but nobody can hear me. the icon for input muted isnt going away, even after setting a speak "key". any ideas?

[josef909]

oh yeah, i can record with soundforge from my mic, so i think its in my mixer settings.
ive tried to look everywhere i can for the problem.

can anyone tell me how to use this magical box in front of me?

Check your playback mixer settings and mute your mic.

Check your recorder mixer settings and select only mic.

If this still persists then we will need more information.

okay...ive done all the above and when i mute the mic, i cant hear it in the headphones...is that what i want to happen?

im still running win98 and ive got a SB AudioPCI 64D.
i think im currently on directX v8.1

OhOh

First yes that is what you want, you don't want to hear yourself in the headphones.

The OHOH above is for the SoundCard. I am not sure that the SB-PCI64 can handle two way comms. (talking and hearing at same time). I beleive you will have to upgrade to minimum PCI128 for SoundBlaster cards. My son has the SB-PCI128 in his computer and it works.

You may have a rough time finding one that old. I have had good sucsess with the SB line of Hardware even tho their drivers bite.

Good Luck in your quest, It will be a positive outcome.

man, that stinks that i gotta get a new soundcard.
youre right tho...this thing is a dinosaur (im so spoiled)
thanks for your help tho....this issue has been driving me nuts

hey, it handles two way comms just fine (i.e. yahoo voice chat)
its just that TS seems to think that i have another application using the recording function already (even after i restarted my pc with no programs running). under the self tab, the only thing i can do is mute output (then i cant hear anyone else) but when i undo that, it goes right back to being input muted. the other options are not greyed out, just that nothing happens when i press them

check to see what devices you are using in the [Settings][Options][Sound Devices][Device]

Sorry about sound card spec mistake. I thought SB-PCI128 was minimun for TS.

[josef909]

well, you probably know more than i do about TS, so im gonna say youre right and bite the bullet

[josef909]

yo, i did what you said and got an audigy card...but then i had to get winXP....all in all im much happier being free of win98. thanks for the help...everything is working fine now

Glad to hear it, enjoy :)
